Frequently Asked Questions

Montem specializes in high quality gear at an affordable price. With thousands of 5-star reviews, dozens of #1 rankings, and numerous awards, the verdict is in. Montem is better than the competition at 1/2 the price.

Montem poles have been unanimously ranked above primary trekking pole companies such as Black Diamond and Leki. How, you ask? No middle men, no mark ups, no hidden fees. We take pride in devoting our time, effort, and passion to designing the highest quality gear we can while doing everything in our power to keep the price down.

We do this by limiting marketing expenses, minimizing website costs. We DO NOT cut costs on the actual product, which is exactly why we've been called the premier pole on the market.

The design, functionality, and quality is stellar. Simply put, we keep our prices low by not wasting money on what "the other guys" do.

Nordic walking is a type of sport and form of exercise that utilizes total body movement and is widely regarded for its many health benefits, especially regarding muscular and cardio-respiratory strength. The posture and stride that nordic walking poles create allow the body to stimulate muscles you normally wouldn't with conventional walking, and this promotes a greater intensive workout.

"Nordic walking can burn up to 40 percent more calories than regular walking, reduce knee and joint stress, boost oxygen consumption (which, in turn, benefits the brain) and help realign the body after a day hunched at a desk."

-Dr. Pam Roberts, a family physician who teaches Nordic walking as a health and wellness coach at The Summit Medical Fitness Center in Kalispell, Montana. (U.S. News)

It's super easy! Simply adjust your arms so that they’re at a 90 degree angle while using your Montem Trekking Poles. Simply twist the two sections of the pole until they are locked.

My doctor recommended I find a way to become more active. He suggested nordic walking, so I searched for a good pair of nordic poles. I've been using Montems poles for the last 3 months and Im down 15lbs, my diabetes is in check and theyve done great for my needs. My husband uses them as well. H e has arthritis and the gloves that attach to the pole help him get exercise without worrying too much about dropping the poles.

Finally, an affordable carbon pole. Montem answers the most common gripe-price-with this sub-$80 offering that performs like it costs twice as much.

After about 40 hours of testing on trails, streets, beaches, and many places in between—including extensive handling and testing in a physical-therapy office, among therapists, nurses, patients, and doctors in an orthopedic group—we’ve determined that the Montem Ultra Strong Trekking Poles are the best for nearly everyone. They’re simple to set up and use, comfortable, and ready to take a beating. Also, they’re a bargain.

Montem Trekking Poles are a great deal for the value they provide. From committed outdoor enthusiasts to local strollers, these poles will offer a great work out, as well as a sturdy base you can rely on. For the price, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Montem nailed important details like choke-up extensions on the grips, in-field adjustments for the locking mechanism, and easily adjustable straps
